What can be done about loose skin and stretch marks under my chin after a lower facelift?

Dear TJMom, I would agree with your doctor that waiting for about 6-9 month is necessary to appreciate the final result of your procedure.  If you are still unhappy with your results I would consider an option of a limited neck lift.  This procedure is done under local anesthesia and allows for a mild re-tightening of the neck skin.  This procedure is much easier on you than a full face/neck lift and the recovery period is significantly shorter.   I hope you can find a good solution for this problem and wish you to look your best!

Thank you for your question. If you are loose under your chin, perhaps you will need a submental incision to remove some skin, and if there are muscle bands in need of tightening, they will need to be done as well.  There will be a scar under the chin, and on some people, it is well hidden, on others, it is not as well hidden.  Evaluate where you are at a year, and then evaluate things. I hope this helps.

I need to see photographs of your current appearance to give you a proper answer. Without these photographs it would just be a guess as to what you need.
